Concept: content folders

A content folder contains a set of content records and other content folders in a hierarchical tree. Each content folder specifies important criteria that define how the system should publish and manage the workflow of content records within the content folder.

Children content records and content folders inherit the tags from their parent content folder (and therefore also the tags from all ancestor content folders), but no other attributes are inherited. However, some attributes are initially copied from the parent folder at the time of creation.

■    The specific Access Settings from the parent folder are copied to new content records and content folders at the time of creation, which you can subsequently change as needed.

■    The Authority Group value from the parent folder is copied to new content folders at the time of creation, which you can subsequently change as needed.

■    The Owner of this content value from the parent folder is copied to new content folders at the time of creation, which you can subsequently change as needed.

■    The Content is considered expired n days after last published value is copied to new content records and content folders at the time of creation, which you can subsequently change as needed.

Note: For content folders that have a content authority group (CAG) assigned to them, the Owner of this content value is not copied to new content records that are created inside of it. Instead, content records automatically have this value set to specify the first person who created the content record, which you can subsequently change as needed.

Caution! A content record does not have a content owner automatically assigned if it was created by a person who is a member of the SysAdmin role, but who does not have Content Editor CAG permissions in at least one CAG.
